The shadow is the greatest teacher for how to come to the light.

— Ram Dass

 

This image is from my most recent trip to Cuba.

 

Shadow is as important to an image as light. Because no mater how you slice it, (and yes I have said and will say this repeatedly) Light is the jewel of the photograph. What would you rather look at- the Taj Mahal poorly lit or a wall of a building on a street with peeling paint and a rusty chair beautifully lit?

 

Light should always be treated as if it is as solid as the subject of the photograph is. The subject should always be approached as if it is interrupting the beautiful light. Light should never be just an after thought. It is really the only thought.

 

I shot this with the 24-200 Nikkor lens f4-6.3. 1/250 of a second ISO 200. Image raw processed in NX Studio and Photoshop CC with the NiK collection by DxO.
